Bob Inglis joins CCE governing board

We're pleased to announce that climate solutions champion and former
Republican Congressman Bob Inglis has joined the governing board of
Citizens' Climate Education (CCE).

"Ever since I first met Marshall Saunders, I've been a huge fan of CCE —
of its beautiful, collaborative spirit; of its amazingly engaged
volunteers; of its infectious optimism; of its kindness. I hope that I
can help further those things as we work together to solve climate
change," said Inglis.

Inglis was already on the advisory board of Citizens' Climate Lobby, the
political action sister organization of CCE. In joining the CCE
governing board, he will now help make decisions about the policy and
direction of the organization.

The IMF supports a price on carbon

Last week, a new study from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) found
that "a global tax of $75 per ton by the year 2030 could limit the
planet's warming to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit)," the
Washington Post reported. The Energy Innovation Act would exceed that
price by that year.

CCL's Global Strategy Director, Joe Robertson, (pictured) has given
presentations on carbon fee and dividend to the IMF in recent years,
helping to advance the organization's awareness and support of this
policy. Learn more and share this news!

Media: New op-ed from Mark Reynolds

CCL Executive Director Mark Reynolds has written a new op-ed, which CCL
volunteers can submit to their local newspapers. The theme of this piece
is the bipartisan momentum we see emerging on climate solutions. Here's
an excerpt:

Republicans and Democrats are seeking common ground on climate change
because public opinion on the issue has reached a tipping point that
cannot be ignored. A CBS News poll last month found that two-thirds of
Americans view climate change as a crisis or serious problem, and a
majority want immediate action.

To read this op-ed and get instructions for submitting it to your local
paper, head to the "Working with Media" forum on CCL Community.
